Shang Xingchen nodded and said softly, “Yes, I don’t know what his purpose is.”
Gu Yunqing thought for a while and continued, “You go back and explain this to Lord Shang clearly. If I guess well, the prince will come to Ange soon. Even if he doesn’t come, things will be sent in.”
Shang Xingchen nodded and said softly, “Well, I must explain this to my father.”
Gu Yunqing looked at Shang Xingchen in front of him and thought for a while and said, “Ange’s matter seems to have implicated you. The prince’s doing this makes me feel a little bad.”
“Yunqing, you have to know that the prince is the prince and the emperor in the future. His work must be based on the interests of the country and himself.”
Shang Xingchen looked at Gu Yunqing and said softly, “Actually, I told my father that the father meant that the prince and Yuan Qingyu were the most likely to inherit the throne among these two people.”
“Why?”
“Because the prince is indeed talented, and if Yuan Qingyu had no support from the imperial concubine, he would probably not be able to deal with the prince at all. The imperial concubine’s source of confidence was her mother clan. If it were the past, Yuan Qingyu might have ascended the throne, but the emperor’s attitude towards the aristocratic clans these days was different from before, and he would have the intention to weaken the power of the aristocratic clans.”
“There are too many things in the hands of the aristocratic clans in recent years, and the border is not peaceful now. If I were the emperor, I might have taken action against the aristocratic clans long ago.”
Shang Xingchen looked at Gu Yunqing and smiled and said, “Yunqing, this is a matter in the court. You don’t have to care. The most important thing you are now to protect yourself. When I come back, I will go to Linxianlou again and ask if you have found it.”
Gu Yunqing looked at Shang Xingchen and frowned and said, “Xingchen, you must be careful.”
Shang Xingchen nodded and walked to Li Ange, took away the paper signed by Li Ange, and Gu Yunqing watched him get on the carriage.
